It’s not likely going to happen exactly like this, but it’s likely to happen. As economic constraints continue to put more stress on States, seceding will become the lesser of two evils for a lot of regions. The economic collapse of last fall was just a preview.

And, the prof is Igor Panarin, look him up, he’s not totally full of shit.

I’ve got to laugh at the notion of Mexico taking control of part of the US. Even in our current economic crisis, we’re more stable than Mexico. :p However, I don’t think either’s going to happen.
If the US does split up someday ( Which may be for the best, honestly. We’re too big and the regions are too culturally diverse from each other to try to apply 1 rule to the whole thing ), I highly doubt they parts will “go to” anyone. It’ll become 4 or so independent unions, I believe.

Most states get more money from the federal gov’t then tey can possibly produce on their own. Texas gets ~$6 fed money for each ~$1 it gives the fed in taxes. I don’t see secession as a viable option for them.

Professor Panarin is a political alarmist who believes fascism (obviously he doesn’t use that term) is a great form of government if it’s for a peoples’ own protection. His suggestions for “fixing” the Russia Federation, specifically in regard to privacy and property rights, make me cringe.

More on topic, he made this prediction, among others, more than a decade ago. His predictions were all shit-canned then and no one cared until one of his predictions hit a little too close to home. If a person continually posits situations that are possible, albeit implausable, that person will be eventually be right. It’s an example of the infinite monkey theorem, like Jerry Fletcher from Conspiracy Theory.

Yay, no more Texas! I just hope everyone in Austin moves somewhere sane before they are forced to become ex-pats.

And we Massholes have a thing against being ruled by Europeans. We got so sick of it once that we started a war where normal civilians got the fastest basic training ever and went on to defeat arguably the greatest military in the world.
